This is how it pans out for me. WBO strip AJ for fighting Pulev, and not Usyk AJ batters Pulev on PPV Usyk beats Parker on PPV with Whyte and War Del on undercard Eddie puts AJ v Usyk on as a unification on PPV Eddie sells 3 lots of good number PPVs with AJ v Usyk being bigger as a unification than mandatory. Am I wrong?
Thats what i cant be bothered with. People defending the pulev fight cause he doesnt want to give up the belt....meanwhile he gives up another belt. Its a bit like are the belts important or not? The mandatories always seem to be convenient for the promoter as well. Wilder on a ten streak of keeping his belt or something like that....who,s putting these challengers in mandatory positions. Seems to always be guys tailor made for the champion. How come joshuas not wilders mandatory or vice versa. These rankings seem to easy to manipulate for my liking.
zero chance we ever get a headliner of two non brits on ppv in the uk. Tete was a world champion and Warren wouldn't headline him over British title fights
Right, but if he then goes the WBO route then he loses the IBF belt. Most of Wilder's have been voluntary defences, not mandatory. Fury is his current mandatory. AJ and Wilder aren't each other's mandatory because they hold belts in different orgs.
AJ Pulev on one PPV in may, probably bank holiday weekend. Chisora vs Usyk another PPV in March, someone like Parker vs Hunter on the undercard. Then get talk of who should AJ fight all summer depending on the Wilder vs Fury result. He’ll then fight Usyk and pull out with injury (he hasn’t yet) before holding on for the payday and waiting for Fury or Wilder. In the mean time Usyk will have a fight with Parker or Hunter as the AJ replacement
I dont really get why some guys can have numerous voluntery defences while others need to have mandatories. Its always suitable opponents that turn up in these mandatories as well. Whats pulev done to warrant the mandatory. They just seem to make it up as they go along. Or its being heavily manipulated by promoters. We dont want to see pulev v joshua. We want to see wilder v joshua. If organisations are being manipulated like that....promoters basically picking who champions are fighting...surely these rules need to change. Or is it because its in their interests. Either way somethings corrupt with it
Pulev has been mandatory for a while now I think. Can't remember if it was after the Chisora fight or even maybe the Johnson fight he became mandatory. At the time he was probably a reasonable enough mandatory but he's not looked any good...well, since then really. The IBF quite often have crap mandatories which suck because they're the most stringent when it comes to enforcing them. As I've said before, the only way these fights involving the top earners happen is when their crap fights don't sell. So long as every fight AJ has seels a silly amount, there is no pressure to force a fight with one of the big boys.
Bang on, Wilder has had that belt for f**king years, look who he has defended it against, how the f**k were some of those fried chicken guzzling tubs of s**t getting a shot?
Your line refers to PPV in the UK mate not fights and I thought you must have forgot about those 2 PPV classics where the PPV mugths got a serious poking twice.
